    today one of the better trading days in a very long time.

    i'm sure the OP had computer problems, account issues, power outages, emergencies, etc..... and missed it all.

    but said he would make 100,000 today if he was there.

    I share emails and live room transcripts for three reasons…

    #1: Acknowledgement to the individual(s) for a job well done. I believe individuals deserve positive feedback for positive performance in part because we all run into easy times and tough times thru the course of our trading professions.

    The lazy dreamers out there who “give a try” to trading are only interested if it involves all play and no work. They only want to “win” all the time, every day, they want instant success with no time, effort or self sacrifice involved. Those are the individuals you take money from your trades in the market that work while their trades fail. We know that individual trading is a serious business that demands our time, effort, dedication and investments for success. Positive feedback for positive results of that cumulative effort helps keep us on the straight path thru success.

    #2: Encouragement, support, inspiration, motivation for many others who right now this very minute are thinking, wondering feeling the same fears, doubts and hesitations that everyone else does.

    Just like other personal-performance pursuits, trading is for the most part a singular and lonely profession. Too many aspiring traders out there have too few places to turn for positive but honest, sometimes brutally realistic input and advice. So our little corner of the trading world serves as a beacon of light. I guess the term “little” is relative… our daily page views here rivals or exceeds many popular websites out there. To me that suggests we are doing some things right here :)

    #3: Business promotion. I am in the business of exchanging knowledge, experience, failures, success and everything else one learns thru the school of hard knocks for an entire decade, plus. It is definitely possible to learn all that I have on one’s own… if you have the next ten years and more to waste in that self-enlightening process.

    Feedback from others who enter our programs validate what we share here is true. If I were focused on signing up the maximum number of new clients for our programs, I would be very careful to never mention “negatives” such as work, effort, time, sacrifice, cost, delayed gratification, etc that we talk about repeatedly. I would replace those with easy, automated, instant, trade like a pro, trade like a rock star, massive wealth, etc like too many others still do. But why lie? Better to discuss the realities and truths upfront, then get to work inside what really works right off the bat.



    Our Daily Bread
    Cumulative results this week for IntensifiedTrading program…

    Mon
    CL: (-38 cents)
    TF: no trades

    Tue
    CL: -(28 cents) / (-66 cents)
    TF: +10.2 points
    NQ: +15.00 points

    Wed
    CL: +31 cents / (-35 cents)
    TF: (-4.1 points) / +6.2 points
    NQ: +10.25 points / +25.25 points
    ES: 0 points

    Options expiry sessions next two ahead, CL begins the rollover process (never a single session event) from Aug to Sep contracts. Congestive, range-bound tapes today across the board. CL made V-turns up, down and up following weekly inventory to remain unchanged. TF was worst, NQ was best in price behavior today.

    Overall, the ledger is heavier to black than red… zero net-loss weeks so far, none expected.

  3. Austinp is just snake oil, posting no losing trades on YouTube , on his website you only find hypothetical trades.

    He can't even pass a hypothetical sim test 4 times in a row :eek:

    Come on,Austin, stand up , be a man, and come back to this thread .....we would like to hear more excuses :D

    I am not an investigating journalist for nothing, and I have my suspicions. So everytime before I post in this thread, I take a look at TST's profiles, just in case....

    Look who is trying to trick us by making some money on the side! :)

    Of course this Achievements page doesn't show the losers, but the point is, he still hasn't blown it... My guess is that he traded everyday, so tomorrow should be his last day.... (This could also be a new Combine, but let's just wait it out, I will get my popcorn ready.)

  5. Hmmm, I tried checking out nyfox1 on TST on the Trader Profiles but don't see anything. But anyway,

    Go austinp!!!

    You gotta make it one way or another for the sake of your past, present, and future students!
    There is no way around it!

  6. Man everyone loves hammering this guy, eh? Well, I hope he's laying low because he's killing it and that his next post is as a funded trader.

    I admit I like hammering vendors, but only because he stopped posting. that was lame.

    2 scenarios:

    1. fails again, no funding, no posts. what fun is that?
    2. gets funding, and the comedy continues...... see, more fun.

    so, yes, I hope he makes it.

    Maybe he's doing a combine that doesn't require him to do a journal. :confused:

    Also, do you plan on hammering him if/when he returns or do you only do that when someone is not around. :confused: :D

    However, I'm a big fan that if someone starts a journal...they should either finish it or at least show up to say the journal has ended instead of leaving it open for folks to post whatever they want without any further input from the OP. It's kind'uv like having a beer party and there's no one at the door to check ID's to make sure those entering are of legal age. :D
